1159693 - _globalProperties in browser-test initializes fuel

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

I noticed this in mochitest-browser tests

03:54:32 INFO - 969 INFO TEST-INFO | (browser-test.js) | Console message: [JavaScript Error: "DEPRECATION WARNING: FUEL is deprecated, you should use the add-on SDK instead.
03:54:32 INFO - You may find more details about this deprecation at: https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/SDK/
03:54:32 INFO - jar:file:///builds/slave/test/build/application/firefox/browser/omni.ja!/components/fuelApplication.js 1458 Application

03:54:32 INFO - chrome://mochikit/content/browser-test.js 244 Tester_start 

This means fuel is being initialized even if it's not used, at that line in browser-test we have:

this._globalProperties = Object.keys(window);
and indeed this causes the initialization of window.Application that is defined as a JavaScript-global-privileged-property

I'm not sure if there's an easy solution here, apart from removing fuel from the codebase (but it's too early to do that).

FUEL is being removed in bug 1090880, so this is now wontfix.
